Plenty of C++ code can't use modern C++ features because of Linux distributions holding everyone back. I think this is a bad thing and don't want these concerns to seep into Rust as well (outside of "fundamental" libraries.)
Safety-critical systems may need these guarantees, but I object to them externalizing the costs they need to bear on the whole community.
Almost everyone should be on up-to-date compilers, assuming the compilers promise that they won't break old code. The more we move towards that world the better.
